President Electronics New Virginia (Formerly Called New York UP) Magnetic Mount CB Radio Antenna

Im only giving 5 stars because it is exactly what it says it is, and does exactly what it says it will do. Its a good working antenna. Its not the best one ever made, but anyone looking for a cosmetically pleasing and good working antenna, this is it. There is no tuning available on this but overall as low swr. It makes it quick to install and get you transmitting.

Gets good range for light use on freeways etc. looks like a factory antenna and has little to no interference

Easy to install and no tuning. Love it!!

I feel that the antenna its over priced its look cheap the cable is to short from the Radio to where we want to mount it plus is not putting out. Please for the money I spent on this antenna for a few dollars more I should bought a whip antenna tune it up and more on...lucky I had a old radio shack whip antenna and Im getting more power plus more miles getting out...

This antenna has a super magnet an works great on the roof of my pickup truck. I park my truck under a carport and height is an issue. I put it on and have left it for about 5 months with no issues. I also purchased it with my President CB radio which extended the warranty of the radio to 5-years. Cant beat that.

Junk doesn’t work at all better using a hanger very disappointed Amazon station sell this product

Im not sure why there are so many bad reviews. This is not an ideal antenna - and going into the purchase I assumed there would be some drawbacks. For reference, I am an Amateur Extra Ham operator but I also use CB radio. This a compromise antenna - meaning its nowhere near the perfect physical length. Its electrically a 1/4 wave - looks like its wound around a plastic or fiberglass pole, so it needs a good ground plane - IE the center of your roof. I use this on my wifes minivan because she doesnt want a 4-foot firestik or anything like that. This is the closest thing you can get to stealth while having a functioning antenna. Most importantly - out of the box I saw a 1:1 SWR - that is SUPER low for a compromise antenna. Theres no way to tune this, so thats a good number out of the box. That means Im getting the full 4 watts out of my radio (more or less) transmitted out. I replaced a whip antenna on a mag mount (2:1 SWR) with this and Im definitely reaching further distances. Note that this is in the center of a minivan roof - a very large ground plane. Does this beat my firestik or my home CB antenna? Of course not. But for the price it offers a good compromise between form and function and looks like a modern car antenna. Theres really nothing else in this space that compares. If you are looking for something semi-stealth this is really your only usable option.

Does not fit my Midland CB.

So was worried about it, because you don’t have to tune it. I really gives you a low SWR on the meter.

I figured, “60 bucks and it’s a President, has to be good right?” Wrong. It was, so I thought, exactly what I was looking for. Stealth and modern looking. That’s pretty much where it ends. Says it’s pre-tuned for low swrs. Nope 2.3:1 isn’t all that low. Can’t tune it. The coax is the equivalent of 14 gauge wire. The noise floor was 7 pounds on the meter with the car off. Doesn’t fold flat like one review had said, but I expected that. Had I known this is what it was like, I would’ve just bought the Procomm Rubber ducky for 1/3 the price! Shame President, shame! I will be retuning it.
